My approach is communicative, practical and personalized. My experience as a copywriter and writer helps me bring authentic language, creativity and real-life examples into my lessons. Having spent extended periods in France and Canada, I understand the challenges of learning a foreign language and adapting to another culture. I combine conversation, grammar, vocabulary and Brazilian culture, adapting each lesson to the student's goals and level.

Olá! Sou Francisco Lima (ou Chico Lima, se preferir), professor brasileiro de Português para Estrangeiros (PLE), com mais de 15 anos de experiência no ensino de idiomas. Trabalho com alunos de diferentes níveis e nacionalidades, adaptando as aulas aos objetivos e necessidades de cada estudante. Aproveito meu background de redator publicitário e de escritor para acrescentar um toque de realidade e imaginação nas aulas. Gosto de combinar conversação, vocabulário, gramática e aspectos da cultura brasileira (música, folclore e coisas que o Duolingo sequer sabe que existe). Também sou professor de francês básico (nível A1 e A2) e tenho experiência com ensino online e aulas individuais.

More than 15 years of experience teaching languages, including Brazilian Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PLE) and French. I have taught one-to-one and group classes to students from different countries and proficiency levels, both online and in person.
I currently teach Brazilian Portuguese to international students online, adapting lessons and materials to each student’s goals, needs and proficiency level. My teaching combines conversation, vocabulary, grammar and Brazilian culture, with a focus on practical communication.
I have also taught French to Brazilian students at A1-A2 level.
